nice photo.
also appreciate your and nicole's composting efforts. didn't realize how much snow you all have gotten.

As to the composting, yes, there is some stuff in there. We mix kitchen scraps with yard waste (lots of fallen leaves) to decrease the smell. It's too cold to generate the heat to make compost - however, as I understand it, if the compost is wet enough the freezing, unfreezing, and refreezing that will take place over the winter will break down the food and make the composting happen faster when spring comes and the temperatures rise.
